  • The amazing thing is that rotary worked.

    Thing about this for a moment, there are 100 possible positions per selector, 10 up and 10 across.

    Add the number of selectors and you have the total number of possible selections.

    But there can be no errors for your call to go through.

    And this is all an electromechanical scheme.

    Add to that the relays that are involved, and this is for a local call.

  • step by step is freaking awesome.

  • hookswitch dial that bad boy
